Exploring Data Skills: Developing Student Data Skills

Kristin Hunter Thomson, Dataspire Education & Evaluation, LLC 

In this session, we will explore how to create an on-ramp for student success with data exploration, as well as how to help students develop quantitative data skills. We will explore a range of data skills that are used when working with data and consider how we prioritize teaching and learning those skills. We will also review the pedagogical content knowledge that is at play when teaching with data, and some strategies to use when asking students to work with data.
